and Toula are best friends with little money, living in the big city,
and hoping to turn their childhood dreams into reality. Sadly the two
are discovering that achieving fame and success is not as easy as it
had once seemed. Toula is still waiting for her “big break” as an
actress and Charlie is barely holding it together at her dead end job.
To make matters worse, Charlie’s grandmother is terminally ill and has
decided to make a final visit to her grand-daughter before she dies.
She has proclaimed her dying wish to be, “the one thing she desires
most in the world”, a great grandchild. Desperate to please dear Nana
Harris the girls devise an ill-fated scheme to get Charlie married and
pregnant before Nana’s arrival. But the plan descends into chaos when
Nana Harris turns up earlier than expected and the girls are forced to
make hilarious attempts at convincing her that Charlie is, indeed,
having a baby. Characters Charlie: Age 30-35 Very mature business-like person, very overwhelmed by the ever
increasing pile of bills and being the only one who seems to care about them. Toula/Tomas: Age 30-35 Aspiring
actress but roles are few and far apart, very ditsy, irresponsible and messy,
prefers to party and shop than pay her bills. Needs to dress up and act as a
man (Tomas) with a very bad Latino accent. Nana:
Age 45-55 (or the ability to act the part) Terminally ill,
no-nonsense, quick witted Grandmother, energetic and vivacious, does not care
for Toula/Tomas too much.
